Some information about the marriage of Dr. Fellman Van Vliet Snell and Margaret Emily Young is taken from the September 6, 1933, edition of the Toronto Star. The article is a forecast of a marriage to take place that evening and is written in the future tense. Margaret's parents are shown as the late Mr. and Mrs. William D. Young. Apparently, both are deceased, for she is given away by her uncle, Dr. George Sills Young. His wife, Mrs. George S. Young is shown as officiating at the reception. Fellman Van Vliet Snell is referred to as a doctor. His parents are shown as Mr. and Mrs. C. Alvin Snell. Fellman's siblings, Miss Delight Snell and Grant Snell, are members of the wedding party. The article goes on to say that at a later date the bride and groom will sail for England where Dr. Snell will engage in a year of post-graduate work. |

| Note | Birth reg 004929-05 Essex (Colchester Twp.), Essex Co. Fellman Van Vliet Snell born 22 March, 1905. Parents C. A. Snell and Gertrude L. Fellman. Father a dentist residing Essex (presumeably the town). Physician in attendance J. E. Jenner. Informant C. A. Snell. The original birth registration was entered by the registrar as being that of Fellman Van Vlier Snell. This was corrected by Fellman on July 3, 1953. Since his wife Margaret also filed a delayed return of birth for herself on June 26, 1953, it appears that they both needed a birth registration for some purpose...possibly a trip. |
